Whose products? I don't see how your comment follows. Are you talking about $90k automobiles or groceries?

GP was commenting on the expense of hiring American workers and wage competition. While there are some moral arguments for higher labor cost such as (ironically) workplace safety, the necessity for laborers to be able to afford the products they make is just nonsense.

Model 3 will go for about $30,000?

Yes, I wouldn't expect workers at Ferrari to be able to afford one but this is the outlier.

I'll believe that when I see it. In fact, I bet it'll be closer to $50,000 than $30,000, which isn't exactly the "everyman's car".
